Hawa Mahal

HawaMahal or “The Wind’s Palace” was built in 1799, by the Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh. Hawa Mahal is located on the southern side of the city. It has a very beautiful 5-story building, the design replicates the crown of Krishna. It appears like a honey comb with around one thousand tiny windows. They are embodied with lattice work and encourage cool breeze to flow through the palace, centrally air conditioning entire area during summers. The beautiful red and pink sandstones of the exterior give it an enchanting look.
